“They all said that the bad guys didn’t want my sister, and no one wanted my sister.”

“Xu’er!” Madam Ling’s face suddenly darkened and she scolded him.

Ling Xu was rarely scolded by his mother, so his eyes immediately turned red and he hugged Ling Yu, “Sister… don’t leave, don’t stay with the bad guys, stay here.”

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

“Xu’er.” Madam Ling frowned.

“Madam, Miss, we should go to the old lady.” The maid outside the door came in and reminded the two.

Madam Ling’s birthday banquet was about to begin.

“Little men don’t cry. There is no bad guy bullying my sister. Now, let’s go to celebrate the birthday of our grandmother, okay?” Ling Yu squatted down to comfort him and looked at him.

Ling Xu also had a soft temper, just like her, like Madam Ling, but he was the legitimate son of the prime minister’s mansion, and he would definitely suffer in the future with such a temper.

"Okay." Ling Xu reached out and wiped his tears, stubbornly and seriously, "Xu'er is a man, he must protect his sister, and will not let the bad guys bully and scold his sister."

Ling Yu stood up, took his hand and walked out.

Mrs. Ling looked at the two figures and followed them, thinking constantly in her eyes.

North Courtyard.

Old Lady Ling was wearing a dark yellow Luo shirt embroidered with complicated patterns, her white hair was pinned up, and her wrinkled face was smiling, nodding from time to time.

"I wish my grandmother a long life and a healthy body. This is a little thought from my grandson." A man in a blue brocade robe bowed and said to Old Lady Ling.

"Okay, okay, Zhou'er is thoughtful." Old Lady Ling nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Aunt Zhang looked at her youngest son again, and the other party also went up, and Old Lady Ling's smile deepened.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhang showed pride in her eyes.

Her two sons are also very competitive. If they pass the imperial examination, then her good days will come.

"Grandma."

A delicate and tender voice came.

"Hey."

Mrs. Ling responded when she heard the voice, and stood up, saying with a smile, "Xu'er is here."

"Grandma, I wish you a long life." Ling Xu rushed to her side, with a serious face.

He was very short and small. Mrs. Ling looked at him, her eyes a little wet, "Okay, Grandma will wait for Xu'er to grow up, pass the imperial examination, and get married, so that she can close her eyes in peace."

She didn't like Ling Yu and Mrs. Ling, but she had special feelings for Ling Xu, the legitimate son.

After all, a bastard is a bastard, and there is a difference between legitimate and bastard.

She can still tell the difference.

"Yeah!" Ling Xu also nodded heavily, "Wait until Xu'er grows up!"

Mrs. Ling signed him in, and when she saw Ling Yu coming in, she pretended to salute, "I have seen you..."

Ling Yu didn't stop her.

Old Lady Ling narrowed her cloudy eyes and continued, "Meet Princess Xian."

"Grandma, you don't have to be so polite." Ling Yu stepped forward to help her up, raised a smile, and greeted, "Grandma, how are you recently? Have you had a migraine again?"

"No problem." Old Lady Ling shook her head.

"The old lady's headache has been a bit serious recently, and her legs and feet are not convenient. It's probably because of the change in weather." Aunt Zhang said on the side.

Ling Yu raised her eyebrows and looked over.

"The old lady is also worried about Xiao Yu, and she hasn't slept well these days." Aunt Zhang stood aside and continued to speak.

Come on, this topic is brought to Ling Yu again.

Everyone present looked at me, I looked at you.

How little did Xian Wangye value her to do this?

This princess is so frustrated.

"Yu'er is now Princess Xian, Aunt Zhang should still pay attention to the rules." Mrs. Ling, who was usually very quiet, said in a light tone at this time.

Aunt Zhang's face froze.

In a sense, Yang Ruo had been "bullied" by her for more than ten years, and many habits and subconsciousness had changed a lot, and they became habits for a while.

"It's my fault." Aunt Zhang quickly admitted her mistake, lowering her eyebrows and looking docile. It was rare for her to be so submissive.

Ling Yu turned her head to look at her and said nothing.

The atmosphere froze, and embarrassment and seriousness were spreading.

"Yu girl." Old Lady Ling patted her hand and sat up, in fact, she also wanted her to keep things quiet.

If it is said that the princess is favored, it's okay, the key is that it is just in name only.

"Aunt Zhang is serious." Ling Yu showed a curve at the corner of her mouth, and said something neither lightly nor heavily.

Hearing this, Aunt Zhang dared to stand up and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was too careless. There were other people today. If any rumors were spread, it would be very disadvantageous to her.

Before she could reflect on herself, Ling Yu half-jokingly said, "I used to think that Aunt Zhang was more outgoing, and the rules would inevitably constrain her. Now I think Aunt Zhang should change. After all, the rules are the rules. They are there. If the family doesn't care, it will be troublesome if it causes trouble elsewhere."

To put it bluntly, she is disrespectful.

A concubine really treats herself as her legal wife.

Old Lady Ling's face also sank. On the one hand, she felt that Aunt Zhang was her niece, and it was embarrassing to say that she was embarrassed. On the other hand, she felt that it was reasonable. The legal wife and concubine were not on the same level. Aunt Zhang had been too unruly in recent years.

"I know my fault." Aunt Zhang knelt down at once, with a very sincere attitude, "Because it was my aunt's birthday, I was inevitably a little happy and forgot the rules."

How could she not admit her fault?

If Ling Yu asked her to hand over the power of the head of the family, it would cost her half her life.

For a small family like her, being the head of the family is a job with plenty of money and power.

"Auntie is in a serious condition. She is at Grandmother's birthday party. Get up quickly and pay more attention in the future." Ling Yu gave a slap and then a sweet date.

"Thank you, Princess." Auntie Zhang still looked nervous after getting up. She stood aside and did not show off.

Even Old Lady Ling did not make a fuss about Ji Yang's matter.
